Kim Thanh, Thanh Thuy, Pham Hien: who will recruit women's volleyball to replace Luu Thi Hue?
The fall at the final of the Hung Vuong Cup robbed the opportunity to attend the 32nd SEA Games of Luu Thi Hue, a female worker born in 1999 who broke her ligament and took a flight to Ho Chi Minh City for surgery.
Immediately after receiving this information, the Vietnam Volleyball Federation as well as coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet said that the team had no intention of looking for a replacement for the Ha Nam girl. However, the coaching staff will consider making a final decision after 1 week, not excluding the possibility of calling one more name to the team.
Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet said: "At the moment, we have no plans to replace Luu Thi Hue. Now the whole team will practice with 17 athletes for another week, then the coaching board will make a decision whether to call a replacement. so or not?"
Obviously, to ensure the full quantity and quality of the team, choosing a name to replace Luu Hue is an inevitable decision. When finalizing the official 14-player squad, it is likely that 4 players will be in the auxiliary position, while the current team also only has 4 names playing in this position, namely Tra Giang, Ly Luyen, Bich Thuy and Nguyen. Thi Trinh.
Thus, calling for an additional assistant position also creates competition among the players, thereby helping coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet make the best choices before entering the 32nd SEA Games.
At this point, the question arises who will replace Luu Thi Hue, in the position of assistant, there are currently 3 bright names with a stable performance in the first round of the national championship as well as the Hung Vuong Cup.
The first is the captain of VTV Binh Dien Long An, Kim Thanh emerged very early and quickly won the trust of experts. Being the main partner of the Vietnamese national team in 2018 as well as being the mainstay at Long An Club is the best proof of this girl's talent.
Famous as a versatile, comprehensive athlete who can play well in many different positions. But that is also a disadvantage for Kim Thanh, her Long An club is constantly lacking in terms of force, causing Thanh to constantly change positions from opposite pass, assistant then play the main player this season. .
Where it is difficult, there is Kim Thanh, the sacrifice when changing positions continuously is difficult for experts to choose her to compete in a fixed position. It is this that makes the Western girl regretfully absent from this team gathering.
Le Thanh Thuy is also the name mentioned, surely the fans can't forget the tears of regret in the final of the Hung Vuong Cup, that is the clearest image showing that Le Thanh Thuy is determined to come back strong. how. The beautiful assistant was once a promising name of Vietnamese women's volleyball in the period 2016 - 2018.
Le Thanh Thuy's quick, fast, plug-and-play shots with the ability to hold on to "tough as leeches" Le Thanh Thuy became an irreplaceable pillar at the Industrial and Commercial Bank at that time. She was also given regular opportunities in the national team and left a certain impression.
However, the period of low form from 2020, rarely playing in Ninh Binh made Le Thuy gradually sink into oblivion. The 2023 season witnessed the strongest return of Le Thuy. Given the chance to hit the main game by the coach, her contributions to Ninh Binh's play are undisputed.
One of the shortest workers in Vietnam with a height of only 1m72. However, Pham Thi Hien is a blocker that taller opponents cannot underestimate.
The assistant born in 1999 is very agile, judging the situation according to the strict rules, it is very rare to see Pham Hien leave the barrier. Although not high, but in return, the long arm span and good bounce help Pham Hien create a solid barrier on the net. After Bui Nga retired, Pham Hien is currently the number 1 assistant in Information.
